Using original Amiga ROMs and Workbench files along with the UAE emulator, current AmigaOS 4.1 owners can enjoy complete Amiga 68K emulation on their PowerPC based systems. The RunInUAE package by Chris Handley makes it possible to double click on each game to automatically launch UAE. There is even a JIT compiler in the works which should dramatically speed up emulation when it is completed.

Each Cinemaware game utilizes WHDLoad to enable it to run with a simple double click of the mouse. WHDLoad may be registered to remove the nag requester and help support even more original Amiga game conversions.

All that said, the emulation is not 100% perfect. This is where you come in. UAE is very configurable and specific config files are provided for some games. If you know of any tricks to help improve those UAE config files please share them. There is also the decision to use WHDLoad versions of the games. Some people prefer ADF versions instead. Please consider helping us improve the games and possibly provide ADF versions as well. The best way to get in contact with us is via the contact form or the support forum.

AmigaOS 4.1 Update 6 users should note they must have the Emulation and RunInUAE updates applied to their systems for smooth operation. If you have not yet updated, this is a great reason to do so.

I would like to thank the AmigaOS beta testing team for helping to find and fix the many issues that cropped up during beta testing. A special thanks must also go out to Lars Fuhrken-Batista of Cinemaware and Ben Hermans of Hyperion Entertainment for making this project possible.
